Creativity should not be responsible for financial stability. Yet, I have been deep in this expectation. Just one more project. One more poem. Next time it will be different. Next time it will be better. This is a crazy amount…
Wild writing is a way of paying attention to life. It is a call to adventure.
A call to remember the beating heart that wants space on the page.
I wrote some truly awful poetry. If anyone pointed this out to me, I would take it personally. I would fret over it for weeks. And that’s okay. Caring deeply comes naturally to youth. It's a good thing. But I wish it hadn’t stopped me from writing.
I love writing in the shower because I can be alone. Truly alone. No one is going to walk in on me and disrupt my process. From there, I can be creative, expansive and imaginative. There is no judgement. Because there is no one around to judge. In this sense, the shower can also be a sacred space.
